I spoke to the owner of this car first in the late 90's, and, he is a great guy. He has owned it since about 1980, and, has original paperwork from Bill Thomas, where the original owner ordered the car to be built as a Stage III Nickey Camaro. It had, and still has, original stickers from both Nickey and Bill Thomas Engineering. The hood was installed by Thomas, along with the Nickey emblems, and, a Nickey dealer sticker. The scoops on the hood are open in both the front and rear. Terry Hatcher would say it's real, and, it's awesome!

What? Are you saying a Camaro ordered through, built and sold by Bill Thomas came with Nickey stickers, emblems and paperwork?

A really neat car to say the least. Surprised it is not in your stable, or Bimbis.

I wanted to blow it up enough to see if I could read the decals on the 1/4 windows. They may have been Thomas decals.
I grew up in Vancouver, B.C.,and don't think I had ever seen a Nickey, Yenko, or Motion car before this, and that's why I took more than one photo. It had a pretty healthy idle to it too.

If you are looking at the ones in the drivers quarter window, I was thinking these were maybe some early ISCA show car decals.

Great to hear that the car is still around and doing well...

ok..put my life on the line getting this album down from the top shelf in the garage. I normally dont save stuff like this but for some reason saved this ad from the auto trader it was on the same page as a 67 RS/SS 350 car I bought at the time and saved that pic as well. oh and about 99.9% sure this was spring '84

enjoy......
